If you get the mad science perks or whatever they are (Int 9) and the repair bobblehead you should end up with enough fusion cores that you'll want a weapon to shoot them at your enemies. (The Gatling Laser)

Psychotic Weasel posted:Man I wish I could modify that outfit further than Kent can - love wearing it but at higher levels enemies start tearing through you all to easily and it has next to no radiation protection. I've been running around with it and a few mods that let both the suit and the hat get both weave and linings along with various other bits from other mods including: Gloves from We Are The Minutemen The recon armor helmet-looking thing from New Vegas Patrolman sunglasses with sensors built in Couple of armor bits. Isn't quite as strong as the top tier marine armor from the DLC but still pretty workable.

ComposerGuy posted:In Fallout 4, you are immediately given the impetus to your quest, like in BotW and, to a lesser extent, New Vegas, but in this case there's no good reason given in-narrative for you to not immediately follow the trail to find your son. It makes no narrative sense to do anything else because you're playing the parent of a newborn child. You have to actively ignore that to do anything else, and it breaks narrative immersion immediately. In the past few hours I watched a world-ending nuclear war start, my spouse get killed, my child taken away by unknown individuals, and then I step out into a destroyed world. Everything's going to burn.

ToxicSlurpee posted:Yeah that and he despises a lot of perfectly normal game actions. It makes sense for characters to dislike stealing or picking owned locks but Strong hates all lock picking. That is an unimaginably stupid game design decision. I can understand if he gets made if you're nice to people but his list of dislikes is just plain stupid. Oddly enough one of the best ways to raise Strong's opinion is to hang around a settlement with him. He actually likes you helping settlers.

frajaq posted:The 85 Metacritic thing was an extra bonus Bethesda offered to incentive Obsidian a little further to make a good job and they failed in the end, it was all Obsidian's fault, as Chris Avellone himself confirmed This doesn't agree with my headcannon so I'm going to ignore it. /NMA prometheusbound2 posted:Metacritic scores within a range are likely a good indication of quality, but the suggestion that the difference between an 84 and an 85 says something about the quality of the game is stupid, especially since different scores mean different things to different people. That it was 85 was nothing special. It only got attention because they missed by one point. You set goals or trigger points or bonuses in a strictly defined manner and if they're not met then they're not met. Going "Well you got close enough" defeats the whole purpose.

Lexorin posted:I don't really have one (unless shotguns and whatever random armor I could find is considered a build). Apparently I was using a "Magic" shotgun, which I just found out was thing. The game more or less expects you to be stacking up the damage perks and secondary perks for whatever weapon you're using and the meta really favors automatic weapons versus semi-auto, especially for the Daily Ops. +75% damage from the weapon perks (including bloody mess) and all three ranks of the armor reducing perk is pretty much a must for most any build.

Ash1138 posted:It's also worth checking other player camps for an Ammo Converter so you can trade the ammo you don't want for points to buy the ammo you do want. Now with a 50% less annoying user interface! For those of you unfamiliar with some of the tricks of console interfaces from fo4, you can hit tab to go back a screen. This works for the ammo converter if you need to melt down smaller stacks of ammo as you can melt down X then go back a screen and melt another X down. It's quicker than going through the whole selection system again. Fun tidbit: If you have a broadsider equipped when the Daily Ops boss dies you'll get ~200 cannonballs, which have a rather good exchange rate. Only downside is that they weigh 1 unit each so make sure you start the op in a place where there is a converter.

I did the Beckett quest chain with a friend and the final mission had us chosing different conversations resulting in very different outcomes with the two Becketts we had with us. Afterwards I can only assume they argued about who got to have the goatee.

Sooo... I don't know if this is common knowledge or not but if you create a public team it'll count as being on a team for your perks and mutations. Even if no one else has joined it. Won't trigger things like Strange Together though.

I finished it yesterday after atoming the last 2 since I wanted to take a break. Main interest for me later on in the path was the BOS mini-bunker since I didn't have it yet. Otherwise more perk packs to turn into upgrade points for legendary perks and skins I might use on rare occasion depending on my mood.
